Round two
I posted the first round of this on the 19th.
Playlist/Lyrics Meme:
1. Put your playlist on shuffle.
2. Post the first lines to the first 25 songs to come up (along with these instructions).
3. Have people guess the songs and artists in comments to the post.
4. A couple of days later, post the answers to the ones people guessed correctly. Post the first two lines of the ones no one got and get people to guess again.
5. Repeat, adding the next line to the unguessed songs each time, until they're all guessed/you've posted the whole song/you've gotten bored/no-one's going to get the damn thing if you don't tell them.
1. I want you to know I'm happy for you. / Alanis Morissette - You Oughtta Know / guessed first by moonlight69
2. I was at the mall, sipping on a milkshake, playing the wall, taking a break,
admiring the girls with the bamboo earrings.
3. Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street.
Cross the water and home through the town.
4. This is nothing new to me.
It takes more than what you've got to frighten me.
5. I've been talking to some friends of mine about you, boy.
They say you're about to have to have a child.
6. אני לא סינדרלה, שמי לא שלגיה. / Sarit Hadad - _____ - artist name guessed first by slurp
7. Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk? / Lit - My Own Worst Enemy / guessed first by slurp
8. Mother, Mother, tell your children that their time has just begun.
I have suffered for my anger; these are wars that can't be won.
9. My friend assures me it's all or nothing.
I am not worried; I am not overly concerned.
10. Baby, we can talk all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere. / _____ - Two Out of Three Ain't Bad / song title guessed first by kooshballrivky (Yes, I'm strict.)
11. Hanging 'round, downtown by myself. / Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy - guessed first by moonlight69
12. Plutzling hert men nayes als vert opgeshtelt mit a yutz.
M'loift fun alle zeitn fun der ganze velt on a putz.
13. The old folks say that you've gotta end your day by ten. / Loggins & Messina - Your Mama Don't Dance / guessed first by kooshballrivky (Yes, completely!)
14. I wanted so badly somebody other than me staring back at me but you were gone.
I wanted to see you walking backwards.
15. I touch the fire and it freezes me. / BtVS - Walk Through the Fire / guessed first by moonlight69
16. Let's get down to business. Mulan - I'll Make A Man Out of You / guessed first by kooshballrivky
17. ויכלו השמים והארץ וכל צבאם. / Blue Fringe - Vayevarech / guessed first by joshbrown (and only him; sorry!)
18. Is this the real life? / Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody / guessed first by moonlight69

I was laying in bed.

22. Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? / Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven / guessed first by moonlight69
23. Sunny days, birds singing sweet sounding songs of love.
As we walk, hand in hand, just kicking up sand.
24. Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town.
Been a whole lot happier without her face around.
25. Shadows, they fall on the stage of your own life,
Trailing behind footsteps.
